Answer 1

First, you could easily Google an ecosystem definition. Second, don't ask someone to "put a lot of information" into it because this is your assignment, not ours. Third, you have to research the info on Florida....you can't expect someone from Alaska or another country to be so specific.

Here's a copy/paste definition of an ecosystem. Good luck with your project - you have 2 days to learn more about ecosystems.

An ecosystem is a system whose members benefit from each other's participation via symbiotic relationships (positive sum relationships). It is a term that originated from biology, and refers to self-sustaining systems.

Here's another copy/paste, and is a more accurate definition in my opinion:
An ecosystem is a complete community of living organisms and the nonliving materials of their surroundings. Thus, its components include plants, animals, and microorganisms; soil, rocks, and minerals; as well as surrounding water sources and the local atmosphere. The size of ecosystems varies tremendously. An ecosystem could be an entire rain forest, covering a geographical area larger than many nations, or it could be a puddle or a backyard garden. Even the body of an animal could be considered an ecosystem, since it is home to numerous microorganisms. On a much larger scale, the history of various human societies provides an instructive illustration as to the ways that ecosystems have influenced civilizations.

Do your own homework you worthless leach. I live in Florida, and I am not telling you anything. Look it up just like your teacher told you to do a month ago
